In my personal experience, this method for detecting what is HD would 
not work very well, since the listings coming from Schedules Direct are 
often (probably >50%) incorrect with respect to HD. I'm not blaming SD; 
it could very well be their provider that is wrong.

Since all of my HD content is OTA, what I end up doing is using the 
"prefer tuner" setting to choose that tuner when I want a program to be 
in HD.
